iFixit now sells genuine Xbox replacement parts but at ridiculous prices — $599 for an Xbox Series X motherboard when a new console costs $499

Microsoft Xbox Series S.

Yesterday, iFixit partnered with Microsoft to "bring official repair parts for Xbox Series and Xbox Series X consoles to gamers everywhere" to "keep Xboxes running longer and out of the waste heap."

The collaboration includes repair part store page listings for disc and digital models of both Xbox Series consoles and accompanying guides for installing each component. Most parts cost $20-$60, but a few essential pieces, like the motherboard assembly, can cost as much as a full console. For example, the Series S (model 1883) US motherboard assembly costs $299.99, the same as a new Series S console, while a Series X (Disk Drive Model 1882) US motherboard assembly costs $599.99, versus the full Xbox Series X console, which costs just $499.99.
